Mike:

I suggest you to take a look at Inno Installer: www.jrsoftware.org
It solves the most case of installation (even includes presets for typical
setups, ie: BDE, VBS, and others).
If you need more control it allows to call a DLL or use InnoScript (a Delphi
based language).
Inno was choiced with several awards and by last but no least: it's free.

Saludos
Sebastian
